Why don't people accept my invitations?!

People always say "invite me to guild" I then do and they don't accept. Does this make any sense, if you think so then tell me WHY!

cause they don't know you
cause they don't know your guild
cause you didn't say them you invited them
cause they got a better offer
cause they got an offer from someone who did talk to them
cause ...

you'd have to elaborate more: i.e. Did you talk with the person at all to see what "they" were looking for? How much time they play? Tell them what you're guild is into and or looking for in a guildie?

There could be lots of reasons, similar to me not accepting unsolicited "join" requests when I'm in a town or outpost. If I'm not advertising that I am LFG, then I'm not gonna accept......really bad for my Monk build....it gets rather stupid having 10 invitations before I'm fully loaded and have my bearings!!

I will talk to people and ask them if they want to join when i advertise and then even talk to them when they do join and 6 mins later they leave, Im growing very tired of this and if everyone who did this actully stayed today id have 10 more members but becasue they did what they did im stuck with the same number.

sorry but thats not a good way to recruit.

people usually join to see what ur guild has to offer.. and when they dont see anything they want, they leave.

or they take what they want and then leave. lol.

if someone asks if i want to join their guild, i just say maybe, even though i dont wanna. truthfully, im lookin as of now =). but seriously, a lot of times i dont see anything that pleases me. they offer when they think im ownage, which means, usually (in pve) that they suck a whole lot compared to me. heh. thanks for the invite.

on the side note, im looking for a tombs group, unless SF has something new to invite.

Does your guild have plans for the future? and does it have any members presently? Do you invite players that have played already or newer players.

You might have better chances at finding members ins Pre-searing Ascalon.

what our guild does to recruit is simple and it works great.
Simply when we do missions, we do it in a full guild group
with one none-guild person. then the whole mission we get
to know that one person and we decide if we want him/her and
him/her decides if he/she feels like joinning.

Don't even bother to do it this way! It only costs you a large amount of gold at the end and you will have maybe one more member if you are lucky at the end.

Even if you get some you will never really know if they were "worth" the time , gold and effort you put in.

I always recruited over the forums by writing exactly what we need, how we play, what we expect and what the member can expect from us.

Other than that I'm also checking people I'm playing with and if a few good are among them, I say to the guildless ones (if they want to hear it only though, so better ask first if they are willing to hear!) what my guild is about while saying to others that if they ever would be unhappy and would like to leave their guilds (mostly if they say theirs are dead!), that they don't have to look far cause they will be very welcome in mine.

if youre desperate, screenshot the next time you win hoh and pass it around to your prospective members. if your guild never won.....

hey! Photoshop. LMAO~

if they join ur guild like that they must be retarded
